Real Timbers

Whether in hand, under foot, or on display—there’s nothing quite like the look and feel of real timber. ⁠

Teak Wood

Teak wood is a highly sought-after hardwood renowned for its exceptional durability, natural beauty, and unique golden-brown hue. Harvested primarily from the Tectona grandis tree native to Southeast Asia, teak is prized for its rich and warm tones.

Beyond its functional qualities, teak wood carries an air of luxury and exclusivity. Its inherent strength ensures that pieces crafted from teak endure for generations, while its smooth, easy-to-work surface allows artisans to create intricate designs. Whether used in high-end furniture, flooring, or decorative accents, teak effortlessly blends functionality with aesthetic appeal, making it a favorite choice for those seeking both beauty and long-lasting value in their materials.

A popular choice for use in furniture, joinery and other fine woodworking—it was only natural for Makarlu to include Teak in our range.

European Ash

European Ash is a highly regarded timber in Scandinavian furniture and interior design, thanks to its beautiful grain and light tones.

European Ash is the European equivalent to White Ash of North America, with both woods being light coloured to nearly white, and generally straight-grained with a uniform texture.

The colour of the timber varies from white through to pale brown, making it an attractive option for use in chairs, dining tables, joinery, architectural features and hardwood flooring. In the past this versatile timber was even used in boat and plane building, due to being a strong yet relatively lightweight hardwood. It’s these properties which make European Ash an ideal option in the Makarlu range.
